I was 21, during my third year of university, on summer break in the countryside with my parents and my son. We were visiting some relatives and having fun at the lakes and forest. Plenty of food and drinking, sunburns... I'm pale by nature, and have hard time tanning, but I easily burn and it is so easy to burn when you're drunk and forget sun lotion.
I was hanging with some cousins and friends, and it got boring in a small village at night, so plenty of drinking was happening. After a week or so, my parents left back home, but I stayed because I had nothing better to do. I could do some studying and have fun while there, my aunt was more than happy to have me and my son as guests.
I was there for almost two weeks, when a cousin I've seen only two or three times in my life came to the village. He was a few months older than me, studying in another town, but in a similar field of study - I was doing sociology and literature and our native language, and he was studying English and German. We had plenty to talk about, comparing the idiocies and problems of academic life, discussing future plans, wishing how things would change in the methods of teaching...
I would spend mornings studying, then go to the lake with my son and friends and cousin, and I'd hang out with them until early afternoon, then go have lunch, then study some more. Evenings I'd spend with friends killing time, while my son was spoiled by aunt and her friends. I'd usually pop in to put him to bed, then go back to hang until we got bored. If I was not drunk, I'd go study some more before sleep.
A week after meeting him, we were all hanging out at the lake in the evening, and around 10 everyone started to break up and leave home. I was too buzzed from cider to go study, so I said I'll stay a little more and sober up before walking home. Cousin offered to stay with me, because he had nothing to do at home except watch TV. We lay on blankets on the beach, he was complaining about his girlfriend at the university, how they had too little time to spend together. I told him he should be lucky, I had almost no time between classes, studying, and taking care of my son to even date.
